Body World

Today, we celebrated Taylore's good report card by going to the Body World exhibit. They take human bodies (cadavers) and inject plastic to preserve them for art and teaching. It's a traveling exhibit and very interesting. I got to see what arthritis looks like, tumors, what a stroke looks like after a mild one and after a major one, a heart attack. It was quite interesting. There were babies at each stage of life, the little ones were from the 1920's and couldn't be cured at that time. We got to see organs, muscle and what an obsese person looks like with all the fat attached to the muscle. We saw healthy lungs, and smoker lungs, emphazema. It was amazing. Here's the website for more info http://www.nowutah.com/bodyworlds/

I would highly recommend seeing it if it comes to your location. Very educational.
